This command is used to construct a single MP_Constraint object.
| rigidLink $type $masterNodeTag $slaveNodeTag |
| $type | string-based argument for rigid-link type: |
| bar only the translational degree-of-freedom will be constrained to be exactly the same as those at the master node | |
| beam both the translational and rotational degrees of freedom are constrained. | |
| $masterNodeTag | integer tag identifying the master node |
| $slaveNodeTag | integer tag identifying the slave node |
NOTE: The constraint object constructed for the beam option assumes small rotations
EXAMPLE:
rigidLink beam 2 3; # connect node 3 to node 2 via a rigid link-beam.
